We won tickets (in an adoption auction) to Tweetsie Railroad, Grandfather Mountain, and Linville Caverns...PLUS did a trade with Laura and Dennis to stay in their time share for a super fun mountain getaway from Friday-Tuesday.

Today we bundled up with many layers and headed to Tweetsie bright and early. It wasn't crowded at all and was a beautiful sunny day.

the kids loved looking at all the western garb

the girls were all about the covered wagon with their love of all things Little House....and the boys LOVED the cowboys and guns:)

We started off with the train ride

the boys driving

Ephram was SUPER bummed to be too short for all the rides. This is the first time he's shown interest in 'scarier' rides and he can't wait to be able to go on them with the other kids.

airplanes...he didn't love this because it was too 'little'

this was the one bigger rides he could go on and boy did he LOVE it! he kept saying, "again, again!" they went on this spinning ride at least four times in a row and he cak

time for the girls to drive! cailey did the gas, brake, and steering by herself

daddy wanted nothing to do with the chairlift so he stayed down to take pictures...before having to climb up the mountain to meet us at the top.

playground break

cailey got to be the Magician's helper in the Magic Show...it was super fun.

about to tour the mouse mines

more rides!

we went to see the animals next. deer, goats, llamas, emus, sheep, burrows, mini horses, and alpacas.

i sacrificed my dizziness for this sweet boy so he could go on a 'big' ride:) he cackled the WHOLE time and told me he'd help me get down.
